From €143 to €357 a person, with a typical price of €175. That is the median of 5 per-person day-tour fares we currently sell. Multi-day packages and private charters are priced differently and sit outside those figures.
ATV Tour - Snæfellsjökull Glacier & Lava Fields with Summit Adventure Guides, at €143 a person. Read what it actually is before booking on price alone — the cheapest line is sometimes an admission ticket rather than a guided trip, and a large coach costs less per seat than a small-group minibus because it gives you less time at each stop.
20 of them, from 18 operators: IceTransfer.is, BusTravel Iceland, zimno, Magic Iceland Travel , Nordur Travel Services ehf, Valkyrie Tours and 12 more. Every one is a company we hold a contract with — we do not list everything in Iceland, on purpose.
Day tours run from 2 hours to 10 hours, most commonly about 5.5 hours. Pickup and drop-off are usually inside that figure, so a three-hour tour from Reykjavík can mean closer to four door to door.
1 of these are admissions or tickets rather than guided tours — Vatnshellir Lava Cave Tour from €42, for instance. Worth knowing if you are driving yourself and only need entry.
Yes — 2 of the 20 run over two days or more. Those include accommodation and usually breakfast; check the individual itinerary.
13 of 20 (65%) offer pickup. The rest ask you to meet on location. Pickup is the single most common cause of a missed tour in Iceland: it runs to a window rather than a time, and the bus will not wait long.
10 of the 20 are private, the other 10 are shared departures. Private costs more in total but is priced per vehicle, so for four or more people it often works out close per head — and you set the pace.
Across the next 360 days of live availability we hold departures in September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August. That is a rolling window rather than the whole year, so a month missing from that list is not necessarily a month with nothing running.
Cutoffs run from 1 to 12 hours before departure, and 7 of them accept bookings inside 24 hours — so booking the night before is often possible. Popular winter tours sell out days ahead regardless of the cutoff.
12 of 20 (60%) allow free cancellation at least 24 hours before departure. The exact window is on each tour page and comes from the operator's own policy, not ours. If the operator cancels for weather you are refunded in full.
Operators rate them: 17 easy, 2 moderate, 1 very easy. Iceland's ratings assume weather — an easy walk in still air is a different proposition in 15 m/s of wind.
7 of the 20 set one, ranging from 2 to 16 years. The rest have no stated minimum, which usually means infants are allowed but not that the tour suits them.
12 of 20 are marked family-friendly by the operator. That is their judgement rather than ours, and it usually means the walking is short and the vehicle has a toilet.
Operators have flagged accessibility on some: 4 for prams and strollers, 1 for limited mobility, 1 for limited sight. Ring us before booking rather than relying on the flag alone — Icelandic sites vary enormously and a flag does not describe the terrain at the stop.
Varies by operator. Across these: wi-fi on board on 4, parking fees on 4, fuel surcharge on 3, bus fare on 1, admission fees on 1. Anything not listed as included is not included — Icelandic operators are literal about this.
12 of 20 are guided in person, with guiding offered in Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Hungarian and 3 more. English is standard on every shared departure in Iceland; other languages usually mean a private guide.
All of them start from Snæfellsnes. Where a tour starts matters more in Iceland than how long it lasts: the same tour from Reykjavík and from Vík are different days entirely.
The operator cancels and refunds you in full — Icelandic operators cancel readily, and that is a good sign rather than a bad one. What they will not do is refund you for a tour that ran and simply had poor visibility. Wind cancels more tours here than rain or cold.
